Enzymes immobilized on solid-phase matrices have found various applications in biotechnology, molecular biology and molecular
diagnostics and can serve as industrial catalysts and as specific reagents for analytical procedures. A wide range of supports
have been utilized for immobilization among which particle-based supports are the most commonly implemented. Type of support
used for immobilization is one of the key considerations in practical application due to different immobilization efficiency,
ligand utilization and the mass transfer regime. The mass transfer between the mobile and the particulate stationary phase
is often a bottleneck for the entire process due to slow pore diffusion of large molecules. In contrast, monoliths due to
their structure enable almost flow-independent properties. Consequently, the overall behavior of the immobilized ligand reflects
its intrinsic reaction kinetics. Therefore, such an immobilized system is expected to allow higher throughput because of higher
enzyme efficiency, especially pronounced for macromolecular substrates having low mobility. In this work, different methods
for immobilization of enzymes on Convective Interaction Media monolithic supports are presented. In particular, enzymes acting
on macromolecular substrates, such as trypsin, deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease, are described in detail. Immobilized efficiency
is evaluated for different immobilization procedures in terms of biologic activity and long-term stability. Finally, their
performance on real samples is demonstrated.
